Mad Cat Pouncin' Prawn Catnip & Silvervine Cat Toy

I bought this toy on a whim for my young cat who typically plays with a toy for a few minutes, then ignores it. Supposedly, the silvervine contained in this toy makes it attractive to cats that don't respond to catnip. Well, she loves it! So much so that we have to pick it up at night or she brings it into the bedroom and keeps us up. Seems to be well made and she hasn't chewed the legs off. She's played more with this toy in the week or so it's been here than she's played with other toys in months.

Don’t waste $6.99 on this toy! Within 1 minute 2 legs were off and within 5 minutes the stitching opened up on the belly of the shrimp. Another cheap product from China.

We have two 16 year old cats. To say that they love this shrimp (it’s name is Evil) is an understatement. Both cats play with it and one of them put it in a tofu box. The pickier of the two, who never used to play with toys, sometimes sleeps in the tofu box with her head on our Evil shrimp. I’m going to buy 1 or 2 more shrimp, because this shrimp is taking quite a beating as it gets thrown around, kicked and drooled on, (and it still looks great), if it ever escapes, tears or gets gross from the drool, I would have two very upset and bored kitties if there wasn’t another one to replace it. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this toy.

I’ll preface this by saying my darling cat has a sixth sense that allows her to detect when I’ve spent money on a toy, and that instantly means she will have absolutely no interest in said toy whatsoever. Hand me down toys? She adores! That tiny fleck of dust on the floor? She goes crazy pouncing on it over and over again! Of course some would see this as a blessing that I have an inherently thrifty kitty, but do I actually let this deter me from continuing to buy toys for her? Of course not! This toy was the latest and greatest in a long line of attempts to woo my tiny goblin, and I am stunned. Because, guys... It. Worked. She went crazy over this thing as soon as I cut it free from its zip I’ll preface this by saying my darling cat has a sixth sense that allows her to detect when I’ve spent money on a toy, and that instantly means she will have absolutely no interest in said toy whatsoever.

She went crazy over this thing as soon as I cut it free from its zip tie constraints! She cannot get enough of this goofy little prawn, batting it all over the house, attacking it, and slobbering all over it. If you’re on the fence, do your cat a favor and go for it. I will certainly be looking into more Mad Cat toys the next time I get an itch to spoil my picky girl! … more

My boy loves Mad Cat toys in general, but he went nuts for this! He carries it around the house by the rope legs, and the tail retains its shape which is perfect for bunny kicking.

She's about 9 months old and this became her favorite toy as soon as it was out of the box. We play fetch and she leaves it on my pillow at night; most people get mints.

He tosses this thing all over the place and chases it everywhere. A good amount of good catnip in this means he's still playing with it a week after I received it as well. Not always the case with these toys. The prawns legs are rope too, kind of similar to a hoodie string allowing him to toss the toy around. Quality product, fast shipping. Thanks, Chewy.

The cats loved it, should have got 2.They play with it for hours, stealing it from each other, it's still intact.

Must have a good silver vine smell. The cats like it. It’s big enough for them to keep track of and the red primary color makes it easy for them to see.

Some of my kitties do not pay any attention to this, but the ones that do, really love it and have a great time playing with it! Going to order more--one is not enough for them!
